The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2022. The committee met in executive session on February 8, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On February 16, 2022 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held work sessions on March 14, 2022 and March 21, 2022. The committee met in executive session on March 23, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 21–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1181), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-1181h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 31, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 31, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 21, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1833s). The committee's amendment (2022-1833s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2022, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2022-1956s), offered by Sen. Kahn, was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 12, 2022 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Mark Pearson. The bill was enrolled on May 26, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2022-2108e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. An enrolled bill amendment (2022-2108) was considered. These correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 27, 2022, making it Chapter 265 of the session laws.
